Chapter 88: Li Zhi's Troubles (Fifth Update)
In the study, Han Xiaofeng inserted the sand table to the brim, and the more he looked at it, the more his brows tightened. The territory of the Marquis of Longchang is in a large area in the northwest of Chang'an, just next to the Imperial Palace and Guanghua Gate Jingyao Gate, and the territory of today's Qingxia Gate is in the east of Chang'an, next to Yanxing Gate, Chunming Gate and Tonghua Gate, and the Qingzhou Gang is just south of the imperial city. And their own Tang Gate is in the southwest corner of Chang'an, backed by Jinguang, Yanping, Anhua three gates, so that the entire imperial city is enclosed, if there is a change, the imperial city is in danger.
Just as Han Xiaofeng was about to insert the red flag into the position of the Jiannan Dao Salt Gang, the bookshelf behind him made a clicking sound. This secret passage is only known to himself and Li Zhi, and I think it is His Majesty who has come.
When Li Zhi walked out, Han Xiaofeng hurriedly bowed down to greet him and said, "I don't know that Your Majesty is coming, please forgive me." ”
Li Zhi smiled and said, "It's okay, Aiqing is flat, there are no outsiders here." ”
Han Xiaofeng got up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Li Zhi was very interested when he saw the sand table in the study that was filled with small flags, and said, "Aiqing, what is this?" ”
Han Xiaofeng explained, "This is called a sand table, which is made in imitation of the entire Chang'an, and there are all kinds of streets and alleys. ”
Li Zhi smiled, "This is interesting, I don't know what to do, I see that it is full of colorful flags." ”
Han Xiaofeng said, "Back to Your Majesty, although this sand table is quite laborious to make, it is more intuitive and three-dimensional than the topographic map, and the place where I mark these flags is the distribution location and control range of several major underground forces in Chang'an today. ”
Speaking of this, Han Xiaofeng picked up a long stick, pointed to the flag representing the Hou family, and said, "Your Majesty, please see, this is the Hou family's sphere of influence." He also introduced the spheres of influence of several other families to Li Zhi. said, "Your Majesty, now only I, the Tang Sect and the Salt Gang, are still surviving, and it is only a matter of time before they are annexed, and once they are allowed to succeed at that time." In addition, there is King Jing outside, Chang'an will be attacked on his back, and the imperial city will be in danger. ”
Li Zhi said with a smile: "Han Aiqing is far-sighted, and he thinks a lot about my Tang Dynasty." It is precisely because of your humerus and conscientious work that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty can flourish and the country and the people will be safe. Unlike those moths who eat the imperial grain, there is a handful of rotten on the Hanyuan Palace, and by the way, a large piece of the country is rotten. ”
Han Xiaofeng bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty praises falsely, and Weichen is afraid." ”
Li Zhi smiled, "You did a good job, what are you afraid of." This little fight in Chang'an is not in the way, since the rats have entered the house, then just close the door and kill them, but those bandits who want to break in are a headache for me. “
Han Xiaofeng was very puzzled, and said, "Your Majesty, can't this bandit be cleared in advance and never suffer in the future?" “
Li Zhi smiled and said, "I really want to do this, but there are bandits in all directions, how can you suppress them?" It's better to pull together and then suppress it, do you say yes or no? Speaking of this, Li Zhi was obviously a little annoyed and said, "This war is a waste of money and labor, my people of the Tang Dynasty have only been born in a few days, these people are really damned." “
This is a nerve-wracking problem, it seems that it is not a small group of people who are going to rebel this time, I think the situation is already a little out of Li Zhi's control, no wonder I came here today, it turned out to be annoying. However, I have to say that Li Zhi is a good emperor who worries about the country and the people, and he doesn't want to go around fighting to work the people and lose money.
Han Xiaofeng said, "Your Majesty is wise, this method is very proper. But Your Majesty's safety is more important than Mount Tai, please think twice. “
Li Zhi laughed inexplicably, a little sad. I only heard him say, "Those old men can still understand what they say, and seek stability, after all, their sharpness has long been exhausted by the years, but I never expected you to think the same way." ”
Li Zhi's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and he said loudly, "Father can kill the enemy in front of the three armies, why can't I?" My father can become an emperor who will go down in history, why can't I? I can. “
Han Xiaofeng echoed, "Your Majesty is wise and martial, and he will be able to expand his territory and achieve great achievements." “
Feelings Li Zhi is a little depressed, it seems that it is not a good thing that this father is too powerful, all his achievements have been ignored, living in the shadow of Li Shimin, and the ministers also feel that this is Li Shiming's credit. Wenchen and military generals are also famous, just lie on the merit book and eat the old book, who still wants to work all day long, in case something goes wrong, it will be a late season, think about it can be understood.
Li Zhi sneered, "You have also learned to flatter?" Li Ji said that you are bold and reckless, I don't think so, have you become as timid as a mouse and dare not tell the truth? “
Han Xiaofeng was taken aback, this Li Zhi had a convulsion today, was he bullied and had no place to get angry or what, catch me and pinch this soft persimmon.
Han Xiaofeng said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is not flattering. Now that my Tang Dynasty is strong, and Weijia comes from all over the world, His Majesty will definitely go down in history. “
Li Zhi laughed and said, "Weijiahaine? Now the Turkic Tibetans are ready to move, constantly harassing the people of our frontier. Silla Baekje is also following suit, and now that my Datang is still in Weijiahai, you will really deceive yourself. “
Such important news is only known to a few bigwigs in the DPRK and China, and this is too much of a coincidence.
Han Xiaofeng was surprised: "Could it be that King Jing hooked up with foreign clans in order to seize the throne?" “
Li Zhi smiled: "You're not stupid. Li Zhi suddenly Hua Feng turned around and said, "If you were me, what would you do in such a situation?" “
Han Xiaofeng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and the ministers are sparse, so they don't dare to speak falsely." "You are setting a trap for Lao Tzu, if someone listens to it and says a few words in your ear, I will not die.
Li Zhi was not annoyed, and laughed, "Are you afraid that I think you have different intentions?" Afraid that I will blame you for listening to slander? Could it be that I am such a narrow-minded emperor, don't I know what it means to be loyal and rebellious? It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. “
As soon as he thought of the matter of going to the study, he became angry, and several ministers obstructed the few poor children they wanted to promote and the policy of reducing private soldiers, and they also talked about the former emperor, which made Li Zhi angry. Isn't it just detrimental to the interests of your family, as if no one knows, wait until this matter is dealt with and then clean up your old guys.
When he said this, Han Xiaofeng was not afraid, and said: "Since Your Majesty asked me to say it, then I will say it, and if it is not right, please don't blame Your Majesty." ”
Li Zhi smiled, "You say, I won't blame." ”
Han Xiaofeng said: "Now that I am worried about internal and external troubles in the Tang Dynasty, there must be many ministers in the DPRK and China who want His Majesty to negotiate peace with the Turkic Tubo, and even let him make peace." ”
Li Zhi stood up from the chair and said excitedly, "How did Han Aiqing know?" ”
Han Xiaofeng said that he was out of business, and said, "This still needs to be asked, as long as all dynasties and dynasties want to fight with foreign races, aren't those soft bones like this." ”
Li Zhi said: "There is indeed a proposal from the elders of the central cabinet to make peace first, and then use troops after the situation in the DPRK is stable. ”
Han Xiaofeng said with a smile: "It is also feasible for this pharaoh to be heavy, but it will damage the prestige of my Tang Dynasty, and in the future, I will talk about He Weijia's surrender from all over the world." ”
Li Zhi patted Han Xiaofeng's shoulder heavily and said, "Well said, it's very much in line with me." But the current situation can't tolerate us, and how to break the situation is the key. ”
Han Xiaofeng said, "There is no map of the Tang Army here, and I don't know where to start." ”
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Let's go, follow me to the study, there is there." ”
Han Xiaofeng was about to go out to prepare the carriage, and Li Zhi said, "Aiqing is going here, and this secret passage can go to the study." ”
Damn, although I have been speculating before, this road can really lead to the palace, which still surprised Han Xiaofeng. History says that Li Zhi was lucky to climb the throne after his two elder brothers were deposed, and it seems that the truth is not so simple.
